He does bring up an interesting point that I've always thought about.
Going 55 will keep the engine running for approximately 26 minutes longer, thus burning fuel 26 minutes longer than if he drives 75. So the conundrum is finding out if the added wind resistance of going faster actually adds so much more work for the engine that it burns more fuel in 72 minutes than in 98 minutes. |
